@RobBreakenridge Fraudsters

Wild scene at the Citizen Initiative Proposal Review Committee: UCP issued a press release announcing that the committee had approved a recommendation that government include a question on Alberta separation in October referendum. However, the committee was still debating the motion and had not yet voted

@sashameetsrus It’s what you can’t see. One of the highest HIV rates.

A Spring day in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. Compare this to other European cities…what do you notice?

@DrJStrategy Hahahahaha Byeeeeeeeee!

For the record. No More Free Ride for Canada The pause of the Permanent Joint Board on Defence is not just a bureaucratic squabble; it is Washington’s opening move in a larger strategic game is to force Canada out of its free‑rider equilibrium. For 86 years, the board has been the institutional expression of Canada’s privileged status under the American security umbrella, a quiet assurance that Ottawa would always have a seat at the table when North America’s defence was planned. Putting it on ice is how the United States turns that privilege into leverage. The strategic game is simple. The United States wants Canada to undergo a structural adjustment that Canadian politics has spent decades avoiding: higher, sustained defence spending; faster delivery of real capabilities; and a serious industrial base anchored in energy and critical minerals. By pausing the PJBD rather than gutting NORAD or daily operational cooperation, Washington creates a reversible but highly visible penalty. The message is: the shield stays, for now, but the status, influence, and symbolism that Canadian elites prize are conditional on Ottawa finally behaving like a hard power rather than a moralizing stakeholder. Mark Carney has, belatedly, read this room. He knows a world of Iranian missile swarms, Russian attrition wars, and Chinese naval expansion will not indulge a G7 country that treats 2 percent of GDP on defence as heroic while treating its vast resource endowment as something to be constrained rather than exploited. The problem is that most of Canada’s political class, and the majority of its public, have not caught up. They still act as if the post WWII rules based era lives coupled with geography, good intentions, and ESG‑branded virtue restraint on resource development are a strategy that is sustainable. In that context, the PJBD pause is best understood as a forcing mechanism. It is designed to make clear that Canada must choose: either adapt, by rapidly ramping up defence spending, rapidly developing and processing its natural resources as strategic assets, and embedding itself more deeply in U.S. planning and production, or accept a future as a protected but marginal player, lecturing from the sidelines while others set the terms. The strategic game is to end Canada’s era of cost‑free virtue and make hard power, not slogans, the price of continued privilege. No one should be surprised.

@robertlavigne Just like his russian handler wants.

So ... in a matter of 96 hrs ..Trump's USA withdraws support from Poland, Germany, Taiwan, and ends an 80 + year defence pact with Canada I wonder who in the Trump White House is telling the presidents of the "Military Industrial Complex",.."the party is over"

@saintjavelin @Haeske2 Just like the Americans they only care about the self. No empathy.

It’s honestly insane to suddenly read thousands of comments from Muscovites saying how scared they are, how “ordinary people aren’t guilty,” and how “they didn’t start the war” after one massive drone attack on Moscow region.

@stayfreeCanada2 Why wait? Byeeeeeeeee!

150 days to go and my wife and I are GETTING THE FUCK OUT OF WOKE, RETARDED, COMMIE CANADA. Thank God.

@AaronGunn Shut the fuck up rage baiter.

I can’t believe the CBC did something like this. Using taxpayer money to mislead, deceive and outright lie to ordinary Canadians, including retired RCMP veterans, to trick them into taking part in some sort of twisted political propaganda film. Fake documentaries that slander Canadian history, defame Canadian institutions like the RCMP and smear the reputation of our first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald. Spending who knows how much of your money to set up an elaborate ruse (including fake websites, fake companies and fake identities) while engaging American actors and producers to insult Canada’s past. Will the Liberal Minister responsible for the CBC own up to this decision and defend it? Or will someone at the CBC finally be held accountable?

@SecScottBessent @USTreasury Shame there isn’t going to be a way for russia to export oil soon. I guess you’ll have to find a different way to suck putin’s dick.

.@USTreasury is issuing a temporary 30-day general license to provide the most vulnerable nations with the ability to temporarily access Russian oil currently stranded at sea. This extension will provide additional flexibility, and we will work with these nations to provide specific licenses as needed. This general license will help stabilize the physical crude market and ensure oil reaches the most energy-vulnerable countries. It will also help reroute existing supply to countries most in need by reducing China’s ability to stockpile discounted oil.

@JeffreyRWRath Please move to the USA and live out your ‘life’ there.

BREAKING! Mark Carney continues to destroy Canada’s relationship with the US on behalf of Communist China. 👇

@TaraArmstrongBC Hahaha a useless vestige of WWII. BUH BYE.

Carney ran on managing the US relationship. His Churchillian posturing has cost us one of the most important defence institutions in our history. 86 years suspended because Ottawa chose anti-American grandstanding. “Elbows up” got us elbowed out.

@actfast @MthrSuperiorBen No lube in sight.

320 Ukrainian 🇺🇦 Angry Birds are headed for Russia 🇷🇺. Moscow ordered a long war. Ukraine keeps shipping the consequences.⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

@jkenney You seem surprised? This is what Putin wants.

This is nonsensical and counterproductive. Canada is finally getting serious about investing in national defence. This should be welcomed and encouraged by our allies, not attacked. For the first time since the Cold War, we have achieved the longstanding 2% GDP target, and are credibly moving to the new 3.5% core defence target. The Blame Canada crowd here is claiming that’s all the result of creative accounting. Nonsense. - We have adopted the same framework for scoring defence spending as most of our NATO allies - The federal budget and estimates show real, material budgeted increases to meet the targets - We are spending $55 billion to build 15 cutting edge destroyers, part of the larger naval ship building strategy launched by the Harper government - The RCN is about to launch the procurement of 12 new submarines - The RCAF is finally about to take possession of our first tranche of F35s as part of the new fighter jet fleet - Canada is spending tens of $ billions to modernize and expand Arctic military capacity - The decline in total Canadian Armed Forces personnel has finally turned around, and force size is expanding. Anyone who works in or close to the Canadian defence sector knows that this is real. Exciting things are happening in defence tech innovation, procurement, industry partnerships, etc. Canada’s underinvestment in national defence goes back decades under different governments. It was allowed to get to a shameful state, and for too long we have preened about our moral authority while living rent free under the American security umbrella. It will take time to achieve the ambitious goals of Canada’s defence rebuild. But Prime Minister Carney’s commendable defence reset began just a year ago. The Permanent Joint Board on Defence has been a key platform for cooperation on North American defence since the Second World War. It has operated in good times and bad: during our joint operations in the Korean and Afghan Wars; during much lower levels of Canadian defence spending; and even when a US President threatened to annex Canada. Our two countries have shed blood together in the defence of freedom. Geography dictates that we will always need each other to defend North America. So our alliance must be able to stand above occasional tensions in the bilateral relationship.

@RepDonBacon @alleria_eh Funny how this is what Putin would want.

This all started w/ taunts of “Canada will be the 51st state” & “their Prime Minister will be the 51st governor.” The insults gained us nothing but animosity that cost us economically & now militarily. Cooler & wiser brains are needed to preserve a close alliance w/ our neighbor.

@CTVNews Putin’s orders.

@Victoria59L @scoopercooper @HappyCanadian55 Zero. US needs Canada for its defence against ICBMs aimed at the USA. No one is aiming ICBMs at Canada.

@scoopercooper @HappyCanadian55 So for those who know much more about this and I do, what risk does that put Canada in?

Pentagon Suspends 86-Year-Old Canada-US Defense Board, Citing Ottawa's Failure to Meet Commitments, in Direct Rebuke of Carney's Davos Speech thebureau.news/p/pentagon-sus…

@dont_b_crazy @scoopercooper It’s like that whole MAGA organization isn’t smart enough to understand the Davos speech.

@scoopercooper Rebuke? He just made Carney's point. Again. Under Trump, the US is just like him: a narcissist that thinks about nothing but itself.

@scoopercooper Oh no!!!!! Anyway…. Time to buy a shit load of Gripens.

@bayraktar_1love @InfoAgeStrategy Mission failed successfully.

A Russian soldier attacked an FPV drone which failed to detonate with a tree branch and achieved his goal, the drone was completely destroyed.

@USWPColby The “Defence of North America” is only because of America. No one wants to attack Canada… except America. So please, kindly go fuck yourself.

A strong Canada that prioritizes hard power over rhetoric benefits us all. Unfortunately, Canada has failed to make credible progress on its defense commitments. DoW is pausing the Permanent Joint Board on Defense to reassess how this forum benefits shared North American defense. 1/3
